Family Pick - Kyle Sherman - Hear Me - I'm Giving One Away!

In children's ministry we work to provide opportunities for children to learn and take to heart the message in God's Word; the message they can personally know and walk with Jesus all their life! We work to help equip parents and provide resources for them to use at home as they take serious their call to be the primary teachers of their children. One way we can do this is by recommending music for families to enjoy and learn from together. If you are looking for music you can recommend for families then take a look at the new CD from Kyle Sherman - Hear Me.

Favorite Features -

• cd has 12 songs with solid messages
• smooth, clear voice and songs with just the right amount of "pep" - both children and parents will enjoy listening to these songs
• album begins with the heartfelt prayer/song, Hear Me - "Hear me, Hear me, Lord I need You, Hear me, Oh, Hear me! Hear me Lord I need Your help. I can't do this by myself, life gets too heavy. Hear me. Keep my children in Your grace, Guide them safely on their way. Show them Your mercy." Powerful and surely the heartfelt prayer of all parents and grandparents as well!
• Come to Me - "His name is Jesus, He is waiting, He is calling, If you're listening, you can feel it, His Holy Spirit is drawing you nearer. He is calling Come to Me, come to Me if you're hurting if you're lost. He's calling, come to Me, come to Me, leave your troubles at the cross!"
• He Prayed for Me - "I've never seen Him, still I believe. I feel His Spirit inside me. Long, long ago before I was born, He prayed for me! I know He sees me, He knows my face! He feels my heartache, He gives me grace. Long, long ago, before I was born, He prayed for me! He prayed for me! In His darkest hour of need, He prayed for me!" I LOVE this song!
• Build it on the Rock - "Where shall I build my house? I'm gonna build it on the Rock! Where shall I build my house? I'm gonna build it on the Rock! I'm gonna build it on the Rock! I'm gonna build it on the Rock! Where shall I build my house? I'm gonna build it on the Rock! Where shall I raise my children? I'm gonna raise them on the Rock! Where shall I raise my children? I'm gonna raise them on the Rock! I'm gonna raise them on the Rock of Ages! I'm gonna raise them on the Rock! Where shall I raise my children? I'm gonna raise them on the Rock!" Very fun song!
• One True Friend - "I have one True Friend. I have one True Friend. His name is Jesus. Sweet Jesus. My One True Friend! So many people that I've known walking down life bumpy road. Always there when the weather is fair. storm clouds rise and they all disappear. I have one True Friend. I have one True Friend. His name is Jesus. Sweet Jesus. My One True Friend!"
• The Greatest Tear - "On that day at Calvary, they nailed Him to the cross. The sky turned black, the earth rolled back He looked like hope was lost. They said if You are the King of the Jews, come down so we can see. Jesus cried, My God My God why have You forsaken Me? God turned His back and He looked away and I believe, a tear rolled down His face. And He must have cried the greatest ear ever cried." Such a truly powerful song.
• Healing Coming Down - "You're here in a body time takes apart. Only alive by the beat of your heart. God has allowed you to be in this place. So turn from your world and seek only His face. There's a healing coming down. Reach up and take it. You are beaten to the ground, but you're going to make it. Everywhere you have looked pain is what you have found, but there is a healing coming down." Very moving and I love the cello!
